Let’s start May off right.
The blue birds from Ontario will take on the regal cattle of Missouri this afternoon at the Rogers Centre in Toronto for the final game of this three-game set. With yesterday’s win, Kansas City has already claimed the season series against Toronto and will look to secure this series as well with a win today. That would be a first for the team as the Royals are 0-4 in rubber matches so far this year.
Seth Lugo will...

They’re very top-heavy
When the Chicago White Sox were on route to a 3-22 start, their offense was truly hard to watch. The White Sox were held scoreless eight times in that stretch, and they were held to either one or two runs another seven...

The Omaha Storm Chasers have a couple of guys who should probably be in the big leagues.
April has ended, and the Royals have managed to not bury themselves like they have the last two seasons. What they need to avoid is a repeat of 2021 where they came out of the gate 16-9 only to finish 74-88 and 19 games back in the AL Central. This team is better than that one, I think, but has enough flaws to concern me.
The main concern right now is the...
Kansas City Royals catcher Salvador Perez, who is 33 years old, continues to shine offensively and gain on-field wisdom as he ages. Perez is among the top five qualified catchers who are ranked in the top 16 in OPS.
It’s gonna be May. It is May. Today!
While Cole Ragans leaving the field accompanied by the trainer was a gut-twisting sight, it was just a cramp. Here’s Anne Rogers on the game:
The only blemish on Ragans’ line was three walks, and two of them came in his final inning. He was at 105 pitches after a second consecutive walk in the seventh and was likely coming out anyway, but something concerned head athletic trainer Kyle Turner enough to go onto the field and check on Ragans....
There’s a new ace in town, and his name is Cole Ragans. The Kansas City Royals have seemingly found themselves an ace, and he’s helping them put all the pieces together.
Michael Massey hit a two-run home run, left-hander Cole Ragans struck out nine and the visiting Kansas City Royals defeated the Toronto Blue Jays 4-1 on Tuesday night.

Anything to stop the losing streak...
Coming off their third-straight loss, the Royals used a stellar performance from Cole Ragans to end the skid with a 4-1 win. It’s the second time in a week that Ragans has defeated the Blue Jays.
As was the same for Toronto in facing Ragans twice in a week, Kansas City was tasked with Round 2 against Jose Berrios. Similar to last week’s matchup, the Royals didn’t waste much time in tagging the right-hander for...

Can Ragans beat the same team twice in one week?

The Sunflower State is making a pitch for the Chiefs and Royals.
The Kansas Senate is expected to vote today on a bill to authorize new incentives to lure the Royals and Chiefs across the state line, by potentially fully funding new stadiums.
The proposed legislation would create a new STAR bond program specifically for sports projects costing $1 billion or more, authorizing the Department of Commerce to enter...

The Royals are getting back to great defense.
Jaylon Thompson writes about Vinnie Pasquantino’s defense and his ability to do the splits.
“I mean, it’s just part of the job description,” Pasquantino said. “A lot of my offseason work goes into obviously the lifting portion, the defense portion, but some of it that isn’t really talked about is the aspect of having a functional moving body.”
There is a lot that goes into playing first base....
The Toronto Blue Jays, who finally broke the five-run barrier on Monday, would like to make it a trend when they oppose the visiting Kansas City Royals again on Tuesday night.

Lots of home runs in this one
Last year, the Royals lose this game big. This year, they still lost this game, but it was in a gutsy way. In both cases, it’s still an “L,” but there’s definite progress here. If the...

To the great north!
The Royals haven’t won a season series with the Blue Jays since 2017, but they can win it this year with one more victory this week. The Blue Jays dropped three of four against the Royals in Kansas City, sparking a five-game losing streak until they defeated the Dodgers on Sunday. The offense has been scuffling, scoring three or fewer runs in six consecutive games, and they haven’t scored more than five runs in a game since...

We’ve been there
The 2024 edition of the Royals has gotten off to an encouraging start. After losing their first two games of the season, the young Royals put together ten wins in their next thirteen games. Included in that steak were consecutive beatdowns of the trash can-banging Astros, by a combined score of 24-to-5. That dog can hunt.
Part of that run was a nifty eight-game win streak between April 4-11. The final game of the eight-game streak...
Kansas City is still WINLESS in rubber matches.
